"It's not that I don't want to tell you,"
Red-bearded Dragon hurriedly explained,
"It was Brother Zhao who said that I should tell you what I just said first,"
"If neither of you wants to leave,"
"Then you may return to your naval warships to rest and recuperate."
"The two of them will naturally be involved in the great battle that follows."
"But what about the cargo ship?"
Ruan Xiaoer pressed on,
"Does Brother Zhao have any plans?"
"The Wang brothers led their men to transport these cargo ships,"
Fei Bao replied,
"Take him to a point ten kilometers upstream of the Qinghe River."
"Once our Liangshan forces have utterly defeated these Huaixi troops,"
"Then let the cargo ships accompany the navy's warships,"
Let's go back to Liangshan together!
.....
The vivacious old woman led twenty cargo ships from Liangshan.
Go upstream along the waterway,
Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun had worked hard for over ten days.
He didn't try to hold on any longer.
They each returned to their naval warships.
I found a cabin to rest!
Chixulong Feibao led his soldiers
Continue clearing fishing boats that are blocking the lower reaches of the Qinghe River.
On this side of the riverbank,
The Liangshan cargo ships have made some noise.
Naturally, all of this was observed by the people of Huaixi.
"The waterways have been cleared, and Liangshan's naval warships have arrived."
Du Xue looked at the Liangshan warships on the Qinghe River with a headache.
These are all naval warships specially built by Liangshan.
Each ship was equipped with five or six ballistae and two small catapults!
If we were talking about before,
Liangshan harassed the Huaixi military camp.
We can only rely on noise.
but now,
With the arrival of Liangshan's naval warships
It won't be long.
The crossbow bolts fired from the ballista, and the stone projectiles hurled from the trebuchet...
It seems that all of this will fall on the shoulders of the people of Huaixi!
"If I had known this would happen,"
Du Xue regretted it in his heart.
"We shouldn't have built the camp so close to the riverbank in the first place."
But what's the use of thinking about these things now!
They specifically chose to camp on the riverbank.
They were thinking of preventing anyone from escaping from Liangshan's cargo ships.
Du Xue and his friends back then,
Perhaps no one expected this.
It's only been a few days.
The wheel of fortune has already turned.
They trapped the cargo ship from Liangshan.
They became the combined cavalry and navy of Liangshan.
They surrounded the camp of the Huaixi army...
Chapter 1144 Naval Warships Show Their Power
Just as Du Xue worried,
The fishing boats that blocked the downstream area
They were all cleaned from the riverbed.
Liangshan acquired naval warships.
They then began to continue harassing the Huaixi camp.
Each time the enormous ballista is fired...
The iron crossbow bolt, easily six or seven feet long, whistled through the air.
They fired into the Huai Army's camp!
There were those unlucky Huaixi lackeys,
He was immediately impaled by a crossbow bolt and died on the ground!
There were soldiers whose barracks were not properly built.
He was hit two or three times by crossbow bolts from the ballista.
It will collapse with a crash.
Compared to crossbows,
The Huaixi army suffered even greater casualties.
And then there are the catapults on the naval warships!
Unlike the large catapults used for sieges,
These catapults placed on the ship were all miniaturized.
The stone projectiles they fired were also several times smaller than those from large trebuchets.
But even so,
These small catapults had a range of...
It's only thirty or forty steps at most.
Originally designed specifically for naval warfare,
Suppressing enemy warships
But it was because the Huaixi army had built their camp too close to the riverbank.
This is only a distance of twenty steps.
Small catapults on the Liangshan navy warships
They wanted to storm the Huaixi army camp.
It's certainly not a difficult thing!
"Thump! Thump! Thump..."
One stone after another rained down from the sky.
It landed in the Huaixi military camp.
Most of the stones missed their targets.
But only a small portion remains.
If it hits someone,
They would immediately suffer broken bones and torn tendons!
For a while,
Throughout the entire Huaixi military camp,
Terrified screams could be heard everywhere.
Fortunately, Liangshan obtained crossbow bolts and stone projectiles.
It doesn't seem to be enough.
A quarter of an hour later,
The crossbow bolts and stone projectiles on the Liangshan navy warships then fell silent.
And in this Huaixi military camp,
It's not much better.
Although fewer than ten of the henchmen died directly from the crossbow bolts and stones fired by Liangshan.
But there are many barracks in the village.
However, they had all been damaged by crossbow bolts and stone projectiles.
As a result, thirty or forty of his henchmen were also injured!
This level of casualties was a significant loss for the Huaixi army, which numbered nearly two thousand.
It's nothing!
But that threat that came from the sky,
This obviously greatly dampened the morale of the henchmen.
Du Xue's side,
He quickly led his men to rest and reorganize the camp.
While patrolling around,
To boost the morale of the henchmen.
And Liu Yuan,
However, they ended up entering Duan San Niang's camp!
"So, how are the casualties among the henchmen?"
Duan San Niang said anxiously,
Her camp was also attacked by Liangshan just now.
It was pierced by that iron crossbow bolt, leaving a large hole.
If it weren't for Duan Sanniang's good luck...
He was probably about to be pierced through by that crossbow bolt!
"The casualties among the henchmen are not too bad,"
